Video On RWUL Film Academy
Hello,
My name is Rebekah Frimpong and I developed a new project in partnership with iSpace Foundation in Ghana, West Africa called "The RWUL Film Academy" and Monthly Screening Series. The RWUL Film Academy is a new beta project I am working on that is aimed at engaging independent filmmakers with aspiring and up incoming filmmakers in Ghana. Through monthly screenings, a film lab, workshops, and networking portals, the RWUL Film Academy will in partnership with iSpace in Ghana starts March 20, 2015 goes until July 17, 2015.
I am excited to bring forth this initiative because for the last 10 years I have worked as a film curator sharing the work of independent filmmakers from across the globe. I have also had the chance to teach film and production in varies settings and I am excited to bring an aggressive film program to Ghana that will not only help local Ghanaian filmmakers but will help create an atmosphere where people are talking more about independent film and filmmakers in Ghana. As a Ghanaian-American and I feel connected to both the art world in America as I do in Ghana; if not also internationally.
Please visit www.rwul.com to learn more about RWUL Film Academy and RWUL the non-profit organization that I founded in to help promote and support independent film and cinema.
This GoFundMe campaign is to help in my efforts to raise money for the plane tickets for some of the filmmakers and participants of the RWUL Film Academy wanting to fly out to Ghana from the US, England, and Paris. Having these filmmakers be present will not only make our project more viable but also give the filmmakers a chance to engage even more with the community in Ghana and all of this will be documented in the short documentary film I am making about this experience. I am making an effort to connect filmmakers with other filmmakers in Ghana and to give filmmakers of African descent living outside of Ghana an opportunity to learn about Ghanaian culture and work on film projects in Ghana.
All funds raised here will go toward the RWUL Film Academy and getting the airplane tickets for the filmmakers associated with The RWUL Film Academy.
